272 K. MIYABE ON THE 



sis, Fr. & Sav., and the other, uiidoiibteclly Ruprecht's sjiecies. In my specimens, which 

 I consider to be identical with A. kurilensis, Rupr., the spilcelets are generally in a sim- 

 ple raceme, oblong or obovate-oblong in outline, much flattened, 4-G flowered, and 15- 

 20 mm. in length; and they are appressed hairy and dull-ashy in color. The glumes are 

 minute; the lower one is about 2 mm. long, and the upper about twice as long. The 

 inferior palets are oval-oblong, acuminate, 8-12 mm. long; the sujierior is shorter and 

 two-keeled. The stamens are sis and included. The sheath of the leaves is not bearded 

 at the throat. The branches and leaves are crowded and stunted in a fertile plant. 



In the vicinity of Shana in Etorofu, the bamboo grows so thick and tall as to form al- 

 most impassable thickets. The different varieties (?) of^. Z:«rt7e«.si.s, Rupr., established 

 by F. Schmidt, would most likely occur also in the Kurile Islands and in northern Japan 

 and they require a most careful future study. Professor Maximowicz kindly informs me 

 that the var. spicidosa of Schmidt has six stamens and is therefore a Bamhnsa. One of 

 the oi'iginal specimens of var. panlcidata, F. Schm., in the Gray Herbarium, does not 

 differ from Bambusa s'enanensis, Fr. & Sav.
